Still trying to get my civ to die out in world-gen.

I tried:
 - Removing the baby and children tag. (ignored in worldgen)
 - Orientation that makes them asexual/homosexual. (ignored in worldgen)
 - Only male, only female or only genderless caste. (worldgen hangs in a loop, won't place civ)

Can't make their max-age super low, because they should still be playable in fort mode. Guess a weird workaround would be maxage:1 and a self-targetted interaction that adds AGELESS.

I just want a civ that gets no migrants, that's all. Argh, this was so easy in 34.11. ^^

(Dfhacks "hermit enable" could work, though also blocks all caravans, FBs, etc)

I've tried too. Best I could get was a single-site civ, but the only way it works is if it's mountains start biome only, dwarf fortress, and no settlement biomes. And sometimes the daft bastards don't get the memo and survive world gen despite the lack of other sites and small population.

You can set the pop caps in the d_init file to less than 7, which will also prevent migrant arrival, but for every civ, and you have to restart the game to change it.

For one site add just cave, like kobolds. One megabeast will kill them.

Is slow_learner tameable in fortress mode by civ with use_evil_animals?

underground evil slowlearner is a special case: https://dwarffortresswiki.org/index.php/DF2014:Creature_token#SLOW_LEARNER

"Shorthand for [CAN_LEARN] + [SKILL_LEARN_RATES:50].Verify Used by a number of 'primitive' creatures (like ogres, giants and troglodytes) in the vanilla game. Applicable to player races. Prevents a player from recruiting nobility, even basic ones. Subterranean creatures with this token combined with [EVIL] will become servants of goblins in their civilizations, in the style of trolls."

So if I embark as goblins, can I tame wild trolls? Will wild trolls be agressive to my goblins?

If I play as goblin civ, can I tame wild trolls, ogres and other slow learners?

Why do you sound like a kobold?

Beause you hear like a kobold.

Technically, the currency values in Dwarf Fortress aren't some arbitrary numbers. The values of 1 for copper, 5 for silver, and 15 for gold are based on half the value of the given material's material multiplier (copper is 2x, silver is 10x, gold is 30x). Though this currency value is just the one used for Adventure Mode, in Fortress Mode coins get treated as an item rather than a form of currency: a stack of coins (created in batches of 500) are worth 10 x Material value. So for example, a single gold coin in fortress mode would be worth 10 x 30 / 500 = 0.6 dwarfbucks.

Just something to consider based on what mode you're making these changes for, not that currency really has to reflect the material's actual value (though as in real life, currency that's worth more as a material than what it economically represents usually gets used as a material instead )

If this is just half of material value, I will make new currency system based on material values.

Pardon my curiosity, what'll be this world for? If you're willing to share...

I'm guessing, a very specific fetish.

Seems like a tall order, friend. There are some tools for influencing the world a bit more than just randomly generating, but I don't think they can reach this without a significant amount of luck.

Probably, not so large amount of biomes in goblin settlements. But I want goblins with all this creatures.

In vanilla entities not yet have economic. So their currency is primitive threemetallic system from bad RPG. I want make their own currency sistem for all entities. Humans will have their three metals, but not 1:5:15, they will have 1:29:493. Dwarves will have currency from a lot of metals and alloys. Elves will have amber currency and probably wood and pearls. Kobolds will have gem currency.

Any ideas?
